Endlos is written in Java so it works on any platform which has a Java runtime.

A fractal generator with the following features:

• Platform independend: runs on any Java virtual machine (1.5 or later; 1.6 up to twice as fast!)
  
• Multithreaded: uses any amount of threads for faster calculation on computers with multiple cores/CPUs.
  
• Unlimited precision: use any amount of decimal digits for endless zooms (optimized 64 bit precision).
  
• Coloring: smooth interpolation; random color maps; color functions; over 1600 color maps available.
  
• Draw modes: choose between draw modes to see pixel, line, block or only full image result.
  
• Fast zooming: get an instant preview of the location you’re zooming into.
  
• Multi Fractals: calculate as many fractals as you like at the same time.
  
• Usage slider: set percentage of processor usage for fine grained system load (0% = pause).
  
• XML Fractal Settings: save & load your fractal settings.
  
• Flexible Formulas: change parameters of formulas to create totaly new images.
  
• Image formats: any file format supported by the Java virtual machine (PNG, JPG, BMP, etc.).
  
• Post processing: add effects to the final image (blur, emboss, spin, etc.).
  
• Printing: print your image directly from endlos.
  
• MIDI songs: yup, endlos plays MIDI files! E.g. these: Video Game Music Archive.
  
• Open Source: GNU General Public License (GPL).

I’ve started a new blog to show off some of my fractal pictures which I have had online for a while. The old HTML based page wasn’t going anywhere these days so I’ve been posting them to http://alsfractals.blogspot.com/

Here’s a slide show of some of the images going online soon
